Abstract

In parallel with technological developments, the need for affordable, functional and sustainable materials is increasing day by day. At this point, wood composite materials, which provide many economic and environmental advantages compared to traditional polymer matrix composites, attract great interest due to their functionality in a variety of engineering applications. In this study, the structural properties of functional wood plastic composites were examined before the sustainability analysis and the current market analysis was made by evaluating the usage areas of these materials Furthermore, information about these materials' production methods is presented, and approaches for improving material properties are evaluated. The literature review compiled integrated information on the recent progress of these composites and the development of material properties.

Sürdürülebilir Ahşap Plastik Kompozit Malzemeler: Hammaddeler, Yapısal Özellikler, Üretim Süreçleri ve Güncel Eğilimler

Abstract

Teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak, ucuz, fonksiyonel ve sürdürülebilir malzemelere olan ihtiyaç gün geçtikçe daha artmaktadır. Bu noktada, geleneksel polimer matris kompozitlere oranla hem ekonomik de çevresel yönden pek çok avantaj sağlayan ahşap kompozit malzemeler, farklı mühendislik uygulamalarında işlevselliklerinden ötürü yoğun bir ilgi çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sürdürülebilirlik analizi öncesinde fonksiyonel ahşap plastik kompozitlerin yapısal özellikleri incelenmiş ve bu malzemelerin kullanım alanları değerlendirilerek güncel pazar analizi yapılmıştır. Ayrıca bu malzemelerin üretim yöntemleri hakkında bilgiler sunularak, malzeme özelliklerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik olarak kullanılabilecek yaklaşımlar değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan literatür taraması ile bu kompozitlerin güncel gelişimi ve malzeme özelliklerinin geliştirilmesi konularında ulaşılan bütünleşik bilgiler derlenmiştir.

Keywords
